    I would love a little help with converting the varchar to a datetime.

    The varchar data is in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

    Well, I got the date in...

    with SELECT Convert(VarChar(8), a.item)

    Unfortunately, it's a little more complicated, since SQL Server doesn't have a valid dateformat like the one you need to use as an input...

    SELECT CAST(LEFT(@t,8) +' ' +SUBSTRING(@t,9,2)+':' +SUBSTRING(@t,11,2)+':' +SUBSTRING(@t,13,2) as DATETIME)

    Thanks...

    We just got it as well. Although we used convert. Thanks for the response. I am always impressed on this forum.
